Righto, photos as requested. Really happy with the job Tim did, great work, would highly recommend him - Anyone interested in getting their wheels done through Tim (Perth Powder Coaters - Fairbrother St, Belmont), his number is 0411 612 530.
I'm just not sure about the colour, it's not what I thought it would be.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Was $280 to sandblast and powder coat, then I opted for a clear coat to bring them up to high gloss, which was an extra $100.
I think the clear coat really brings out the pearl, which you'll notice where the camera flash hit them, what do you guys think?

why?!

They dont look that bad at all.

I like the Dark Grey colour.

I'd say leave the center cap on or find a STI one.

Yeah, centre caps off, will look the part.
Reminds me of the GTR badge.

Centre caps are staying, they look shit and unfinshed without some sort of centre cap.

trust me, it's not matte, its very glossy, just a shite colour. wanted something like this, tim said metropolis storm was the closest he had, kinda wish i just went black now-
